FIFA has confirmed the Finalissima between Spain and Argentina will be played on March 27. Doha will host the match. Lusail Stadium will be the venue.

Fans are excited for a clash between European champions Spain and Copa America winners Argentina. Many are also waiting to see Lamine Yamal play against his idol, Lionel Messi.

FIFA wants to create the feel of a grand final. The organisers plan big team arrivals, open training sessions, and large press conferences.

The match was first scheduled for March 28. FIFA moved it to March 27. The game depends on Spain earning direct qualification for the World Cup. That is still very likely.

Spain may also play another friendly during the March window. The match could take place in Doha or a nearby country.

Spain will wear their white away kit. Argentina are expected to wear black.
